I have met Kylie Minogue twice! The second time she came up to me and started small talk.

I have two cats, Fudge and Cooper.

In 1999 I flew around the Twin Towers in NYC in a helicopter.

I was born in The Netherlands.

I grew up in the UK

I love the number 13 – Don’t ask me why…

I’ve been on the boat into the mist at Niagara Falls.

I have been to the Eurovision Song Contest four times (1998, 2000, 2001 and 2011).

I attended the Premiere of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ at Leicester Square in 2000.

I have blagged myself into events twice in my life. The first time was to the Charlie’s Angels Premiere after party. I used the pass of a guest who was leaving the party and gained entry. Luckily the doormen didn’t check too carefully as the picture and name was from a female guest. The second time I blagged entry was at the Eurovision in Sweden (2000). I said I worked for ‘Hello’ Magazine and flashed a friend’s press pass.

I can ski backwards.

I speak English and Dutch.

London is my all-time favourite city in the world. I would LOVE to live there one day!

I am a typical Leo… Make of that what you will – Grrrrrrr

Kylie and Jason were on my childhood posters in my bedroom.

I watched the Australian TV soap ‘Neighbours’ when it was good (that means in the late 80s).

I have been in 4 car accidents.

Ewan McGregor bumped into me and nearly knocked my flying in a ski shop in France in 2006. I was really annoyed until I noticed who he was (swoon).

I once dressed up as a 2-metre wide rainbow and took part in Luton Carnival. I was filmed by a TV news crew and always wish I hadn’t sounded so over-excited at the time. I saw myself on TV… It wasn’t a good look.

When I was eight years old I joined the ‘Beano’ fan club.

I love the British Royal Family.

I bit my nails until I was 31 – then stopped overnight and never bit them again.

I started reading a pieceofthepiehole but coulddn’t find your list. I was reading a blog about how nice the blogger’s partner was, how kind he was etc and he does DIY etc and I thought how nice. Then I read a bit more and it said how this guy was the most special person in his life apart from his two daughters. And I thought, Bas sounds so lovely; but OMG Jamie and I have truly lost touch, he now has two daughters. I was reading this in awe for about 10 minutes until I realised it wasn’t your blog but some guy in America! how very funny!

Spooky! Alexander Rybak has got talent. Have you heard other songs by him too? ‘Europe Skies’, his follow up single (look on YouTube) is great too. Sounds very similar to Fairytale. You have some of my good and bad habits, I see.
